The rates of cleavage of 14 symmetrically substituted diaryl disulphides by cyanide ion have been measured in 60% aqueous t-butyl alcohol at pH 9.2. A plot of log k against σ� shows that while the reaction rate is accelerated by inductive electron withdrawal from the benzene rings, substituents capable of conjugative interaction are not correlated by their σ� parameters. +R substituents cause reaction to occur much faster than predicted on the basis of their σ� values, while -R substituents react more slowly than predicted. Measurement of rates of cleavage of three series of unsymmetrically substituted disulphides by cyanide or hydroxide shows that these unusual substituent effects arise from substituents in the thiocyanate-forming aryl ring. This behaviour is explained in terms of a change in the electronic behaviour of the thio- cyanate-forming sulphur atom from -I, + R in the disulphide to -I,-R in the rate-determining transition state for the reaction. The study does not show whether the cleavage involves an SN2 process or rapid equilibrium formation of a pentacovalent intermediate.

Mixed Anhydrides

Mixed anhydrides derived from carboxylic and amidophosphoric acids, (RO)(R′2N)P(O)OC(O)R″ (1), undergo unimolecular fragmentation yielding carboxyamides, R″C(O)NR′2, and metaphosphate esters, ROPO2. The mechanism of the amino group transfer was studied for substrate 1a (1, R = R′ = Me; R″ = Ph); solvent as well as substituent effects indicate little (if any) charge development in the transition state. The effects of solvents and Lewis acids on the reaction rate and the activation parameters determined for 1a can be explained best in terms of stabilizing interactions with either carboxyamide or metaphosphate being formed in the course of reaction. The transfer of a functional group from one acyl center to another was investigated for other anhydride systems and the relative contributions of the fragmentation vs. disproportionation of substrates are discussed.

State Theory

When a reaction is accompanied by a change with the speed close to or slower than the reaction rate, a circulating reaction flow can exist among the reaction states in the macroscopic stationary state. If the accompanying change were at equilibrium in the timescale of the relevant reaction, the transition-state theory would hold to eliminate the flow.

Dehydrogenation of the N-[2-(aminocarbonyl)phenyl]piperidines 1 -5 using Hg(II)-EDTA, generated the quinazolinones 6 -9 . Increasing size of the 4-substituent in the piperidine decreased the oxidation rate and the product yield.N-[2-(Hydroxyiminomethyl)phenyl]piperidines 18-22 showed a different behaviour. While 18 with H g(II)-EDTA in water produced the oxime lactam 24 in quantitative yield, the 4- substituted piperidines 19-21 caused not only a lower reaction rate but also an altered product pattern. The double dehydrogenation to lactams was reduced and the cyclic nitrones, formed by two electron withdrawal, became dominant. From the spiro compounds 21 and 22, solely the quinazoline-N-oxides 29 and 30 resulted. The mechanism of the reactions is discussed.

Ligand Substitution Reactions

In ligand substitution reactions, one or more ligands around a metal ion are replaced by other ligands. In many ways, all inorganic reactions can be classified as either substitution or oxidation-reduction reactions, so that substitution reactions represent a major type of inorganic process. Some examples of substitution reactions follow: The operational approach was first expounded in 1965 in a monograph by Langford and Gray. It is an attempt to classify reaction mechanisms in relation to the type of information that kinetic studies of various types can provide. It delineates what can be said about the mechanism on the basis of the observations from certain types of experiments. The mechanism is classified by two properties, its stoichiometric character and its intimate character. The Stoichiometric mechanism can be determined from the kinetic behavior of one system. The classifications are as follows: 1. Dissociative (D): an intermediate of lower coordination number than the reactant can be identified. 2. Associative (A): an intermediate of larger coordination number than the reactant can be identified. 3. Interchange (I): no detectable intermediate can be found. The intimate mechanism can be determined from a series of experiments in which the nature of the reactants is changed in a systematic way. The classifications are as follows: 1. Dissociative activation (d): the reaction rate is more sensitive to changes in the leaving group. 2. Associative activation (a): the reaction rate is more sensitive to changes in the entering group. This terminology has largely replaced the SN1, SN2 and so on type of nomenclature that is still used in physical organic chemistry. These terminologies are compared and further explained as follows: Dissociative [D = SN1 (limiting)]: there is definite evidence of an intermediate of reduced coordination number. The bond between the metal and the leaving group has been completely broken in the transition state without any bond making to the entering group. Dissociative interchange (1d= SN1): there is no definite evidence of an intermediate. In the transition state, there is a large degree of bond breaking to the leaving group and a small amount of bond making to the entering group.

Alkyl Phenols

The relative rates of reaction of a large number of ortho-alkyl phenols with styrylperoxy radicals have been measured at 65 °C. These groups have both an accelerating effect owing to their electron-donating character and a retarding effect which arises from steric factors. With two ortho-alkyl groups both the reaction rate and the overall polar contribution to the transition state decrease as the size of the alkyl groups is increased. A single o-t-butyl group produces a small enhancement of the reaction rate over and above its polar effect but this is not observed with any other alkyl groups.

The Difference

Rate data for the acetolysis of exo-norbornyl-sulfonates have been correlated with those for the corresponding endo isomers. It is shown that the slopes of the log kexovs. log kendo plots reflect the difference in delocalization between the transition states derived from the exo and endo isomers, respectively. The log kexovs. log kendo plot, which is comprised of the parent norbornyl sufonate and its derivatives substituted at the 5, 6, and 7 positions, has a slope of 1.11 ± 0.08, which establishes that σ bridging is absent in the transition state obtained from the exo isomer. A similar analysis of base-catalyzed hydrogen–deuterium exchange rates of norbornanones reveals that exo proton exchange is more sensitive to substituent effects than the corresponding endo process.
